Even the Supreme Court of the USA has been so misled that it has issued an opinion that, on its face, is scandalously wrong!

lol...
None of this, amidst all the chicanery, fabrications, and manipulations, appears to have been done by anyone active in global warming research, the CRU least of all. From which point we are forced to conclude that AGW is not science, and that any "consensus" that can drawn from it is a consensus of fraud.
We aren't used to thinking of science as a moral enterprise. But if it isn't that, then it isn't science. It's "sanctified" chicanery.
Great article, neverdem! Thank you so very much for posting it!
[[What you do, if you are a serious scientist operating according to the established method, is attempt to falsify your hypothesis. Test it to destruction; carry out serious attacks on its weakest points to see if they hold up.]]
Not anymore- You simply propose a hypothesis, and then attack ANYONE that doesn’t beleive you- prevent them from publishign in peer reveiw magazines, DENY that you’re preventing them from publishing, and manipulate data and hide data that doesn’t support the theory- Apparently this is how sceicne began to be run startign around 150 years ago or so- right aroudn the time the peer review system became nothign more than a big boys club, where dissenting opinions need not apply
The moral failure seems to be the abandonment of professional ethics. If carbon rationing can be effected, the people who control the rationing are going to get rich.
This episode should be a wake-up call to the science community and peer reviewed journals. In ordinary business, this kind of behavior would be called "fraud" and the actors would be prosecuted in civil or criminal courts of law.
"...director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change..."

Braaaaacckkkk!!!! (Alert klaxon)
There is a title with a foregone conclusion!
It should be something like,
Tyndall Centre for Climate Study..."
... or "Measurement" or "Analysis", etc...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And, by "truthful", I include being "truthful" to themselves...
I have precisely the same objection to the "GoreBull Warmists" who are twisting facts to PROVE that humans are destroying Earth as I do to the "YEC" proponents who are out to "PROVE" that their adherence to Ussher's [mis]interpretation of Genesis outweighs all the true scientific observation that has ever been done.
(BB & A-G, can you recall the last time one of us claimed we had "PROOF" -- of anything?)
Seems to be? That's putting it mildly, tacticalogic! But you're absolutely right — "If carbon rationing can be effected, the people who control the rationing are going to get rich" — on the basis of thoroughly corrupt science. This is not even to mention the vast transformation of the world order that the upcoming global warming summit in Copenhagen envisions, which is entirely justified on the basis of this corrupt science.
This is not about science; it's all about money, prestige, influence, and — finally — POWER (political and financial). The AGW boosters propound a global wealth transfer from rich to poor nations, and a complete restructuring of the world economy under an unaccountable international bureaucracy. Again, all this justified on the basis of this crappy AGW "science."
This is breathtakingly scandalous!!!
Not only is science a moral enterprise; but if anybody doubted that it is (as Niels Bohr insisted) a public enterprise as well, this case should be the wake-up call.
An interesting question is why is science abandoning its "professional ethics?" Especially since it should be obvious that if science turns its back on ethical criteria, it undermines its own method and instantly ceases to be science.
[[This is not even to mention the vast transformation of the world order that the upcoming global warming summit in Copenhagen envisions, which is entirely justified on the basis of this corrupt science. ]]
And that is the maddening part of this whole issue- We have to sit back and watch world leaders extort $$ from everyone based on nothign but a lie- a lie that was recently exposed as such- but which these leaders care nothign about. Copenhagen, by all rights, should be indefinately postponed pending further ‘research’ into the issue at the very least, but nope- they’re going right ahead with this as though the lie about man’s suppsoed involvement in climate change is still hidden from the public- which of course, it isn’t.
[[An interesting question is why is science abandoning its “professional ethics?”]]
The same reason the president and the far left are abandoning their duty to prefessional ethics- because it wasn’t workign for them, plain and simple- the president and the far left aren’t even being coy about their desire to trample on our constitutional rights anymore- aren’t even tryign to hide their agenda anymore- they are throwing it right in our faces and daring us to take a stand against them
[[This is breathtakingly scandalous!!!]]
Aint it though? And the worst part about it is we can do absolutely nothign to stop it- IF they won’t even recognize that they’ve been exposed as liars and fraudsters, and are continuing along as though nothign ever happened to expose them, then we, and the TRUTH, doesn’t stand a chance agaisnt these thugs who simply wish to redistribute wealth by force- Ethics be damned!
Exactly!!!
Those who do not have that "love of discovery" that "drives" a true scientist simply cannot comprehend how destructive the mere concept of "foregone conclusion that must be 'proven'" is to the bedrock foundation of the scientific endeavour.
As a "retired" scientist, I still keep a stereomicroscope here on my desk (and a differential interference metallurgical microscope nearby) -- simply because my mind will not allow me to bypass a question that can be answered via direct observation.
True science is not a "business" -- it is an inescapable "lifelong personal passion for knowledge"!

Goodness, you never heard that word coming out of my mouth! I strongly doubt my dearest sister in Christ, Alamo-Girl, ever uttered the word "proof" either, except to note that "proof" is a word that pertains to the domain of logic/mathematics. Certainly I have never heard it from you, TXnMA!
Anyhoot, human beings living their lives are not mathematical objects. In the sphere of human life and action, there are never any "proofs"; moreover there is never perfect certainty about anything.
"Proofs" are only available where deductive methods are employed. Deductive reasoning starts from a general case assumed to be true, and moves down to specific instances, which are then tested against it. But the scientific method is just the reverse, inductive: One starts with the specific instances (evidence), and then tries to move to the general case (what the evidence shows).
I totally agree with you here:
Once an "investigator" (or organization, or movement — or half the whole world — gets on a mission to "PROVE" something, (rather than search for unadulterated evidence to refine current understanding) they cease to be scientists (or theologists) — or, even, truthful....And that's a FACT!
Thanks ever so much for your wonderful insights, TXnMA, for pointing us to the "loaded language" involved in the Tyndall Center's self-description — and how the language itself helps to shape the public debate towards a preconceived conclusion.
Even the Supreme Court of the USA has been so misled that it has issued an opinion that, on its face, is scandalously wrong!
Exactly, the courts (and yes, even the supreme court) are no longer objective, but rather are now political legislators with hte power to enforce laws based o ntheir subjective interpretations- Sandra Day O’Connor’s opinion about ‘seperation of Church and state’ proved that she is NOT fit to sit hte bench, showign that she is more concerned abotu agenda than she is about upholding her sworn duty to objectively rule. She legislated sentiments concerning ‘seperation of church and state’ by claiming anyone in government who observes religion in public is trying to ‘force or coerce’ others to do so as well- to ‘establish a religion to the exclusion of other religions’ which oif course is an assinine claim
The supreme court has been scandalous for a great many years now- and this global warmign issue will prove to be just an ongoing perversion of the judicial system.
Judge Jones also proved his unnabashed bias when he wrote the brief against ID in the dover trial- proving conclusively that he wasm ore interested in agenda than he is abotu justice and truth- His brief/opinion was a travesty of justice, which of course the left immediately praised and called ‘brilliant’- but anyoen with an iota of objectivity and commojn sense can see he severely overstepped his authority and duty to objectivity by stating the assinine biased crap that he did- and just for hte record, his opinion was almost a carbon copy of the ACLU’s ‘opinion’ on the ruling- prewritten, just wating for the ‘verdict’ (lynching)
Bite your tongue, dear brother in Christ! What is it with all this "doom-saying?"
Here's the scenario I envision, FWIW: The Big 0 goes to Copenhagen, to "universal" fawning applause as a known long-time spear-carrier for the cause of AGW. He is, of course, by now the President of the United States.
The gurus and their acolytes then conduct their obligatory Seance, and lo! and behold! They issue forth their Sacred Salvational Document!!! That will literally save the human race from itself!!! And lead to peace and love and prosperity and all kinds of goodies for the human race forever more — the dawning of the New [manmade] Heaven on Earth!!! [Just trust us.]
Then Our Hero returns with Caesar's laurels to his fawning Left Progressive audience here, including whoever else The Big 0 has conned into thinking he is a "great man" [or at least a politically useful one].
He has declared: YES!!! to The Sacred Document!!! He is its Messiah in America! Hallelujah!!!
Somebody please pass me a barf bag.
Alternatively: This situation would be absolutely hilarious, were it not so deadly serious — and dangerous.
Fact is, Copenhagen couldn't become American law just on The Big 0's say-so. His treaty power is limited by the "advice and consent" role of the Senate. (This is just one of the "pesky ways" the federal Constitution throws up barriers to his ambition. I expect he just hasn't quite figured out how to get around this one yet.... )
So my dear friends, the action moves to the Senate. They have the Constitutional warrant to "advise and consent" on presidential treaty-making powers. And it takes 67 senators to concur before any treaty can become American law.
The good news is: the Senate refused to ratify the Kyoto Treaty. Since their first refusal, they could have changed their mind at any time, and brought it back for another vote. They never did.
But now Kyoto has been succeeded by the Copenhagen festivities. Since Copenhagen is little more than The Second Coming of Kyoto — which was fundamentally a profound attack on American sovereignty (as well as the sovereignty of every other Nation-State in the world) — then one hopes the Senate will continue to refuse to "go along." We the People must do everything in our power to "encourage" them to continue in that refusal.
But one anticipates The Big 0 can find "helpers" in the Senate, by hook or by crook.... [Rahm Emmanuel, David Axelrod, et al., enter Stage Left.... Bring in the "fixers!"]
Among other things, we might mention to our Senators that the science on which this entire policy debate is founded and depends is just so much "witchcraft." And in the most scandalous way imaginable: as involving the compromise of one of the most "sacred tools" the human race has for reliably understanding its position in the World: the integrity of science itself.
So people, pay attention to goings on in the Senate!!! And hold your own Senators' feet to the fire.
This must be stopped. This is the wholesale selling of America into perpetual slavery and/or oblivion — IOW, this is the "fire sale."
Unfortunately dear brother in Christ, the Justices of the Supreme Court are not trained scientists. Nor was Judge Jones....
The point being that science and its controversies should never be within the purview of courts of law for their adjudication. Only a person from Mars could argue that would be a "good thing."
I can only reply: Thank you from my heart, and all praise and glory be to God!
Well put.
Witchcraft, indeed.
Literally, probably, at some level.
Thx.
That explains a lot......
I suspect the critter from Mars would have more sense . . . providing he wasn’t a fallen angel . . .
What fascinates me is to look at how well this fraud has been sold to the public. If your kids are in school, they’ve been well indoctrinated in it. It has been pushed in all of the media, and almost no one dares to deny it in public. This is classic naked-emperor stuff in which people who see the king in his underwear are shouted down and mau-maued into silence.
This is worth studying from the viewpoint of a lesson in mind control on a massive level. They took something that wasn’t true, changed the data, and essentially dared anyone to call them on it. And almost no one did, so intimidated were they, and so desperate are most people to be on the winning team.
Some of us are used to being in the minority, but for most people, its very uncomfortable, and if you can convince them that all the smart people think “x”, then they’ll do any contortion necessary to think the same.
This was the biggest money-laundering scheme, the biggest Madoff securities scam, and the biggest power grab in history, and it almost worked. This episode should be studied as classic propaganda, classic mind control, just like war colleges study famous battles.
Indeed and agreed. Funny how the MSM isn't covering it....
I only hope that your "almost worked" language is prophetic.
AGW has been from the first a massive propaganda operation. It does not rest on scientific grounds at all, only on ideological grounds. Finally, crystal-clear evidence has surfaced that this is precisely the case.
Thank you ever so much, dear marron, for your penetrating insights on this score!
